Agreed. And when the opportunity arises, let's go the extra mile and politely tell them about how they can tweak OE to do intelligent quoting in their messages. Until they're sending messages under Linux, of course. By the way, the bracketed material above is a paraphrase I used to make the quotation sensible yet briefer.
